Re: [ECOS] problem with layered drivers

[Michele Paselli <miguelon at tiscali dot it>]

Hi,
one more question, where should I start the demux thread? Is it 
allowed to start a thread in the driver of the PSoC? In the the device 
driver API  function (cyg_drv_xxx) there aren't functions like 
create_thread or resume_thread, am I allowed to use them anyway?
Thanks

Michele

He means the normal open(2) function. You can 

fd = open("/dev/ser0",O_RDWR);

and then do normal read(2) and write(2) on the file descriptor. 

What Barnard is suggesting, is that you have a thread doing the
demultiplexing. So you have something like

void demux(void) {
    
  fd = open("/dev/ser0",O_RDWR);

  for (;;) {
    read(fd, c, 1);
    switch(c) {

      case 0x01:
      case 0x02:
      case 0x03:
        // Bytes for thread A
        cyg_mbox_put(&thread_A_mbox, c);
        break;
      case 0x10:
      case 0x11:
        // Bytes for thread B
        cyg_mbox_put(&thread_B_mbox, c);
        break;
      default:
        // Hardware has gone crazy!!
        HAL_PLATFORM_RESET();
    }
  }
}
